But i will rise

I cried because it was all I could
They new I was capableBut enjoyed see me go to waste
Little id I know He was watching
But I will rise

Life was miserable by any definition
Nice on the outside but inwards bleeding
Tears filled in a large heart
Nobody knew I was going to waste
But I will rise

Looks can really be deceiving
That I learnt after I saw a young soul dry
Passion and will melt to the soil
Even sand was now absorbent
But I will rise

He wrote about that place
Experiences only beasts would take
Kept fighting for a firm standing
But the push was always too strong
But I will rise

Viewpoint Wekesa the chef The foot of Longonot Quenching thirst A day comes in a man's life when you must decide what is important in your life. And one of those days happened to me, i am a family man and that is something sacred, i work many hours and with utmost dedication that you would get, and especially in the past one year it has not been an easy one. After pushing the body for over a year with no leave days, with pressure from work and other  hustles (read political), i decided to tone it down and take a breather. Last week i met a few people, casually called Fantastic, Don, Kirere and Sherry. The five of us settled on taking  a day off of our usual engagements and run around and see what Kenya has to offer. The itinerary was to run from 5am to 10pm. First, Kenyans are yet to master the art of keeping time, ask Don and his sister Fantastic on this. We ideally left Kigumo at 6.30am. An hour later we were in Kiambu's hub of business, Githurai and y...

Balancing between studies and social life in Universities

Photo./Courtesy By now most Kenyans who sat KCSE last year already if they are proceeding to the University, Tertiary college or seeking alternatives in other areas depending on grades. For those joining colleges and universities, there's a whole new life ahead. There's the registration, getting used to big buildings, especially if one is from rural areas, and making new friends. The harder part is settling down and balancing between school work and the “free” social life. Presented with this freedom, it can be very overwhelming; especially if you lack self-discipline. Had someone come to me at the beginning of my first year and imparted to me this knowledge, he or she could have saved me a lot of time, headache and guilt over how I spent my days in campus. And so this is what I learnt over the years. 1. Make priorities If you have a class in the morning, prioritize on that.  Get some good rest and also ensure you have your books and notes ready so ...

One year later, Jubilee on the right track? Today marks the first anniversary of the Jubilee government tenure in office since the repeat polls in October 26, 2017. The goverment led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto was elected after the first poll was cancelled by Kenya's Supreme Court citing irregularities, and ordered a new one within 60 days. The election commission had declared incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes. Raila Odinga, Uhuru's opponent, said the commission was "rotten and demanded their resignation. President Uhuru would later in October clinch the seat with  7,483,895 votes out of the 7,616,217 valid votes cast. The Opposition however did not take part in the repeat poll as NASA supporters barred IEBC officials from delivering voting material and engaged police in running battles. Raila had pulled out of the race two weeks before the election saying it would be skewed like the first poll. He fur...
